to view What is a Sexual
Assault Kit?, a 2.5-minute video explaining what a sexual assault
kit is and how investigators use it. Part of a series created by NIJ and the
FBI Laboratory, it describes the NIJ-FBI partnership to test sexual assault
kits not previously submitted to a forensics laboratory. This partnership is
helping to shed light on the complexities of sexual assault evidence processing
by using scientific methods to assess current practices and find new ones that
improve the quality and speed of testing sexual assault kits.
